Tasting TERMS
Some helpful words to know and use in the tasting room.

ACIDITY » This is a quality in wine that provides tartness
and pucker. Wines with high acidity will taste bright and
fresh. White wines tend to be more acidic than red wines.
AROMA » Smell is an essential part of tasting and enjoying
wine. The aroma - or "nose" - varies depending on the
grape variety, where it is grown, when it is harvested, and
more. Typical aromas include tropical fruits, berries, citrus,
herbs, and flowers.

BODY » Wines are typically categorized as light-bodied,
medium-bodied or full-bodied. Body describes the texture
or weight of the wine on the palate. Fuller-bodied wines
are generally higher in alcohol content.
ESTATE WINE » Wines labeled as "estate" must be made
using grapes from vineyards owned by the winery. In addition,
the wine must be made entirely at the winery - it does not
leave the property during fermentation, aging, or bottling.

FINISH » This is the note that lingers on the palate after
the wine has been swallowed. It's an important factor in
separating middling wines from quality ones. Fine wines
will have a long-lasting, pleasant finish that leaves you
wanting more.
TANNIN » Tannin is a naturally occurring polyphenol
(a type of organic chemical) found in plants, seeds, bark,
wood, leaves, and fruit skins. When it comes to flavor, tannins
create a dry sensation on the tongue - think of unsweetened
black tea. Most often found in red wines, they also add
bitterness and complexity.

VARIETALS » This word describes wines made from
primarily a single variety of grape. For example, a varietal
wine is made from primarily Merlot grapes or primarily
Chardonnay grapes. This is why a tasting room manager or
sommelier might ask you which varietals you've enjoyed in
the past. In short: Varietal is the wine, variety is the grape.

VINTAGE » A wine's vintage indicates what year the
grapes were picked. If you don't see a vintage on the bottle,
it might mean that grapes from different years have been
blended to produce that wine.
